Chapter 351 — Crossing the Divide
The Beast-Taming Craftsman · Page 8 of 20
"What a rip-off." Not even letting a beast rest easy while it sleeps — what was this, like Chong Chong, training even in its sleep? Not even capitalists were that black-hearted.
Absolute sleep plus dream training — that was Chong Chong's specialty. Yet Shi Jin's expression was one of surprise: he had not expected a mechanic to have researched this model into a machine of such broad applicability.
If not for the fact that they had now found the hardening cultivation method for the Food-Iron Beast, this thing really would have been quite good for the Food-Iron Beast to use.
Stardu University really did have something to it.
"Stardu University's annual research results are always useful things," Feng Jin remarked, covertly needling Hao Ling's School of Mechanics.
Hao Ling's face was dead serious. Compare? Compare how? How much funding do they get, and how much do we get?
Right after, Dr. Mo Qing continued with supplementary explanation, demonstrating that although the machine's cost and consumption were not low, if applied on a large scale in places like the Nine Great Academies and the Beastmaster Corps, it would absolutely not be a loss — basically amounting to trading energy for the speed of improvement of beastmasters and beasts.
"This is truly a remarkable invention." As Dr. Mo Qing finished, the host also exclaimed in surprise, then handed the floor for evaluation to the three judges and two guests.
"Dr. Mo Qing has long devoted herself to combining technology with cultivation, and this skill-training machine truly achieves a perfect fusion of the two. Worthy of Dr. Mo Qing — for the vast ranks of Donghuang's genius beastmasters, this machine is undoubtedly a product of great strategic value." Elder Liu nodded heavily, his expression one of surprise, and gave it high praise.
"Indeed. Raising species-skill proficiency can also drive up a beast's growth level — this is a quite perfect cultivation machine," the Legend Mei Xiuying also said with feeling.
Admittedly, the weaker the beast, the better the machine's effect; the lower the skill proficiency, the better the effect — it was basically for beastmasters below Master rank. But among Donghuang's beastmaster population, that was precisely the largest group.
If they could grow quickly, the significance would be profound. In short, so long as this machine could save those genius beastmasters even half a year of time, it would count as an extremely powerful piece of research.
In the spectators' seats, Gao Xuan, himself a genius mechanic, also nodded, thinking it quite good.
"Dr. Aichi, Legend Ju, what do you two think?" President Ma looked toward the two foreign friends.
The young woman, Legend Ju, nodded with some surprise and said, "It is indeed quite good. A pity the cost and consumption are not small; I imagine it will be hard to apply on a broad scale. But if it can be optimized, for the grassroots of the beastmaster field it would absolutely be a tremendous boon."
She did not stint her praise. Of course, by her experience, this thing would already be very hard to optimize; even so, it was still quite good. Expecting a single product to serve every stratum was unrealistic to begin with. For those genius beastmasters from privileged backgrounds, this sort of thing should be a fine item, letting them swiftly convert resources into strength.
With this, Donghuang's geniuses would only grow more numerous.
"A dream-training machine." Beside her, Dr. Aichi smiled slightly and said, "In Shenfeng, we have this kind of machine too, and it is already in use at various prestigious schools. It is indeed as everyone says — the impact is considerable, and it can effectively raise the growth speed of the younger generation. Judging by the current results, this machine should still have a great deal of room for optimization. It is a research result of tremendous potential."
